We’re living in times where many of us rely on spiritual practice to remain grounded in wisdom, compassion, and freedom as we do our best to navigate increasingly trying circumstances. Fortunately, we are in the footsteps of millenia of practitioners before us who have done just that.

Bodhisattvas are courageous beings on a path to everyone’s freedom, as long as it takes. The Bodhisattva teachings show us how to bring everything in life onto the path of awakening, plant seeds for brighter futures, and engage through thick and thin in ultimately liberating ways.

We often find support and rejuvenation in community. Through a private Discord server, this course will include a forum for discussion and the option for local pods of people to self-organize in real life gatherings (so far in Denver, Boulder, Ft. Collins, and San Antonio).

In this class we will learn:

• Lots of guided meditation with recordings to use at home

• To transform suffering and fear into compassion and courage

• To relate with groundlessness and change

• Interdependence and the power of local community

• The six “transcendent actions” and how we enact liberation

• Big picture Buddhist context and advice for our times

• The famous Heart Sutra which teaches the freedom of emptiness

• More about Refuge and Bodhisattva Vows for those interested

• Select verses from classic texts and open doors to further study
